Abstract: Aspects of the present invention include an apparatus for hanging a display device. In one implementation, the apparatus for hanging a display device, includes an upper mount plate suitable for attaching to a flat surface having a left cable extending downward and approximately normal to a longitudinal axis of the upper mount plate and a right cable extending downward and approximately normal to the longitudinal axis of the upper mount plate. In addition, the apparatus further includes a lower mount plate attachable to a back portion of a display device. The left cable is coupled to at least two approximately vertically aligned receiving points on a left portion of the lower mount plate. The right cable is coupled to at least two approximately vertically aligned receiving points on a right portion of the lower mount plate.

Abstract: A fiber bending apparatus for bending an optical fiber in a networking device and an optical fiber management system and method are provided. The fiber bender has an arcuate main body which is attached to the end of an optical fiber above the male connector and partially including the connector boot, bending the fiber substantially orthogonal to a direction from which the fiber is connected to a line module of the networking device, i.e., substantially parallel to the faceplate of the line module. In this way, the optical fibers are made to bend away from the chassis of the networking device, thereby preventing them from being crushed when the door of the chassis is closed. The optical fibers are also shielded from inadvertent impacts when a technician is working on the networking device. By enabling the optical fibers to be easily directed and managed, the overall fiber density of the networking device may be increased, thereby increasing its bandwidth and information processing capabilities.

Abstract: A fiber optic cable management system that includes a plurality of fiber optic cable management tools mounted on a module to be provided within an optical communications bay. Each fiber optic cable management tool includes a base portion, a first curved portion disposed on the base portion, and a second curved portion disposed on the base portion and spaced from the first curved portion. The first and second curved portions defining a passage or channel that is configured to accommodate a fiber optic cable, whereby the fiber optic cable is bent in the passage. A radius associated with the bent fiber optic cable exceeds a minimum bend radius of the fiber optic cable. Each fiber optic cable management tool further includes protruding member or handle that extends from the base portion to permit manual grasping of each fiber optic cable management tool while maintaining the radius associated with the bent fiber optic cable.

Abstract: An optical fiber organizing device is provided. The inventive fiber organizer includes a bracket preferably fittable inside an optical fiber duct of a telecommunications device and a plurality of retaining arms extending from the bracket dividing the main internal space into a plurality of internal sub-spaces. Each of the sub-spaces is adapted to retain bundles of optic fibers. The optical fiber organizer may be made from a single piece, for example, a single piece of stamped sheet metal. Alternatively, the retaining arms may be separate pieces made from resilient plastic. In either event, the retaining arms are preferably resilient and bendable to allow for intentional insertion and extraction of optical fibers while not allowing for the unintentional egress of fibers.

Abstract: An optical module blank includes a base portion, and a pair of retainers disposed on the base portion. The pair of retainers retains conduits at a predetermined location of the base portion to enable the conduits to be connected to an optical component, such as a laser module, if the optical module blank is replaced with an optical module. A line module of an optical communications equipment may be populated with one or more optical module blanks. However, if the entire line module is to be totally populated with optical module blanks, then a line module blank may be used. Such a device includes a tray portion, and a retainer portion disposed on a front section of the tray portion. The retainer portion has abutting base plates with four pairs of retainers disposed on one base plate and another four pairs of retainers disposed on the other base plate.
